I have handed over my car for repairing on 09-23-2020 which is still not fixed and still lying with horne Kia service centre gilbert, Arizona. They have messed up my car was diagnosed twice in a gap of 2 days. Horne Kia wants to cover up their technician (whom they call the best in their team) they have mess my engine and sending me a second quote to change the engine. On the first week October 2020, I drove my car for 15 miles after collecting from horne Kia gilbert and experienced bunch or new problems on the road. 1. the check engine light was on 2. there was heavy vibration and noise inside my car 3. my car would randomly halt in the middle of the road, while in drive mode. Since then, my car is still lying with horne Kia gilbert, Arizona. I have attached all the email threads sent/received to horne Kia gilbert and Kia consumer asst. Center. Kindly let me know if you can help me out to sort out this ongoing issue since 09-23-2020.
The car gets this random smell of burning plastic. When this happens theres S crackling sound that comes from the dash board. Also the car randomly doesnt start. The lights and radio will work but the car does nothing when you turn the key this seems to happen mostly after the burning smell. I have replaced the battery, fuses and relay switches and nothing works. I've had it at the mechanic and they haven't been able to find the cause. It's very scary smelling burning plastic and hearing crackling while driving down the road. I'm stuck paying for a car I'm to scared to drive.
The hood became unlatched while driving on the highway, smashing the windshield. The insurance company wants to total the car rather than fixing it. Tjete is a recall on the hood latch. Can I expect Kia to repair my car?

The vehicle will from time to time suddenly accelerate on its own without warning. This has occurred twice in the past few weeks. Has occurred while slowing to come to a stop and while speeding up to normal operating speeds. When it happens braking does not stop the acceleration the speed continues to increase.
I had an issue with a dealership after service with Kia I started having trouble with the locks on the passenger side doors not locking and shutting. And before I accuse someone of something that is not correct I wanted to rule out all avenues. While speaking to Kia they said to contact the owner and take it up with them. But I am wanting to make sure of this I have a pre-owned vehicle. On 5/21/2016 is when I started having problems with them.
I was going about 60mph on route 680. When I pressed on the accelerator the car kept accelerating by itself. I had to put the car in neutral but the engine kept increasing speed. I was able to pull over and stop. As of this writing my Kia dealer said the only problem recorded by his equipment was a break switch.
Subframe bushings around the bolts that hold the engine/transmission have gone bad and my warranty was up at 60,000. I have had other cars longer without this problem. I have had this car for almost 3 years. I have read other reviews of this problem with Kia Sedona's subframe and was wondering if this should be recalled. It is currently at the service station and the mechanic has told me at no point they would have not checked this for any service, only if we made them aware of the problem.
